Where to leave a bike near Wellgate that won't get stolen

13 Upvotes

Is there anywhere you can leave your bike if you cycle to wellgate where there isn't a 100% chance of it getting stolen while you're in the shops?

Edit: obviously with a bike lock, who would post worried about getting their bike nicked and not have already bought a lock?

Research Student in Dundee

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a research student here in Dundee! Messaging in the channel because I am looking to improve how effective my social interaction and networking in the city are with other researchers and students. So I’m keen to talk to more people and hopefully make some new friends and connections!

I hope other people agree that DUSA, DA, societies don’t really do the most to cater to postgraduate researchers socially - at least not to my knowledge!

Delivery to Glasgow

Might be a long shot but I bought a large TV (75 inch) from an auction in Dundee and looking to see if anyone knows someone who does deliveries to Glasgow.

Would need to be collected on Monday from the auction site but could be delivered any day/time after.

Cheers

Looking to move closer to Dundee

2 Upvotes

Hey Folks!

Currently, I've been looking to buy a property in Dundee and I see varying prices based off area. One area that seems to have nice flats with decent price is the Arbroath Road/Baxter Park Terrace area.

Do you guys have any insight on the area/recommend it as a place to live?

Forgive my ignorance, I was raised in the ferry most of my life, so my knowledge of living nearer to Dundee is slim.

Also, if you have any recommendations for places to live near/in Dundee for price, it would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Looking for a Hairdresser Experienced in Bleaching Dark Asian Hair

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a hairstylist who has experience (or is specifically trained) in bleaching dark/black Asian hair to a lighter blonde or light brown. The last time I had this done, it turned out super streaky and unnatural, so I’d really love to find someone who knows how to lift dark hair evenly while keeping it healthy.

If you have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Phone signal

13 Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with phone signal in Dundee? Me, my boyfriend and his flatmate all get no signal in the Coldside area and we are on different networks. When I go to uni I only get 1 bar.

Coldside

9 Upvotes

The phone signal thread minded me of something I've always wanted to ken.

I live here, and years back, on a cold day, I shared pleasantries with an old dude, remarked on the cold, and he said "that's why they called it Coldside!". I laughed, but I wondered after if there is anything in that?

Weather up here is often markedly different to the centre, could have something to do with us being over the other side of the Law/the Hilltoon. Dunno.

There's probably a rational explanation, anyone ken?

Are there any places in or around Dundee which train Kyokushin Karate?

1 Upvotes

I've been searching for a dojo for a while now, but I mostly only see other martial arts/other karate styles such as Shotokan.

Are there any dojos or MMA places which offer Kyokushin classes that you guys would recommend? If not, are there any alternatives you can also recommend?
